getting chilly ?
so far this week I've loaned out both pairs of muffs (for evaluation purposes), had 3 people ask me about heated grips, sold one old set I had and have 2 sets of the cheap heater elements to help fit next week, I guess people are starting to feel the chill, I haven't put the fuse back in on the S4 or fitted the heated seat or heated grips to the Pegaso as yet, but nice to know the stuff's there when needed.
Dress up warm people; especially when the sun goes down. Cheers Mark.

Re: getting chilly ?
BMW already do a heated seat!
My Oxford hot grips have given up, so after a new pair. I'm not willing to waste money on them again, so what's a good alternative please? Pete

Re: getting chilly ?
Best solution... handguards with muffs over the top and heated grips.
Just need to go scrounge more neoprene to make MYC some muffs. The bodgeit and scarpa muffs I have on the XJ900 are leagues ahead of the handguards and hotgrips I have on the SV.
